<title>Creating devices</title>
<para>
Note: the MAKEDEV.bz2 file you have unpacked is not an archive, so it
won't create a directory for you to cd into.
</para>
<para>
Create the device files by running the following commands:
</para>
<blockquote><literallayout>
<userinput>cp MAKEDEV-1.1 /dev/MAKEDEV &&
</userinput>
<userinput>cd /dev &&</userinput>
<userinput>chmod 755 MAKEDEV &&</userinput>
<userinput>./MAKEDEV -v generic</userinput>
</literallayout></blockquote>
<para>
MAKEDEV will create hda[1-20] and hdb[1-20] and such but keep in mind
that you may not be able to use all of those devices due to kernel
limitations regarding the max. number of partitions.
</para>
